Yes! I got rid of mine by changing the theme. It was super easy and I love it now. What you do, is use your fingers to pinch in so that you can see all the screens at once. At the bottom, there should be an option for themes. Click it. There will be your current theme, as well as to pre downloaded themes. You can click the store and download any free or paid themes you like. If you click on the see all option, you can see everything they have to offer. If you click on a theme, you can you preview it and sometimes if not all the time they show you what the messaging app will look like. The theme I'm currently using is called someday and it's a blue theme but not your regular blue. Very clean and serene. Let me know if you need any more help.
